I never had OpenAFS 1.0.4a installed.

Actually, the problem turned out to be a conflict with the AT&T VPN client 
I use to access my employer's internal network from home.  After 
uninstalling the client, the network bindings returned to a normal 
appearance (no more disabled icons).  I was then able to successfully 
install the Transarc NT client (haven't tried yet with OpenAFS).  This was 
a big step in the right direction.  After AFS was up and running, I 
reinstalled the VPN client and lo-and-behold it all works!

I'll never understand the Windows network stack as long as I live...  Pure 
voodoo.

I can mount my private cell and authenticate without incident - one happy 
camper.
